Why is she staring at me?

[Pikaichoo]

My young Leopard Gecko, Itzo, tends to come out of her hideaway and stare at me for a prolonged period of time if I sit down on my computer near her terrarium.


Is there a specific reasons she's staring at me? I read that some reptiles have the ability to recognize individuals.


The funny thing is that I've only had her since August, and I don't handle her often, since a majority of the time she doesn't want to be handled. I want her to get used to my hand, so I've hand fed her a few times.


*stares back at her*

...Clever Girl...

Cute! My leo does this to me too, even after keeping her for 3 years. It usually means she wants me to feed her, and on rare occasions she wants to be taken out to crawl around on the bed. But it could also be that she's observing you out of curiosity. They can be rather inquisitive at times. You should take pictures!

My female does this too, and she has snake eyes so sometimes it's a little creepy! She usually just want to be fed and it's her way of telling me.

 

[CheerfulMelody]

My girl lets me know when she wants fed. I hand feed her and let a few crickets roam so when she wants food she comes to her cave entrance when she is not hungry she just sits in the back and watches me. Its a nice system so I don't have to worry about her being hungry nor getting chewed on by crickets that she was too full to eat.

My Gecko looks at me when he wants some more food, like Jayme. He comes right up to the corner to look at me; such a cutie!

Mine stares so intently at the food bowl that I sorta picture that she thinks it's like a replicator in Star Trek (yes I'm a geek). I came home the other day and she was just staring and staring at it, so I dropped some mealies in there and I swear I heard her say "finally!"

Lolz one of my males stares at me then very, very slowly stalks until till he reaches the glass and cant go any further, then he just sits there staring at me intently... until..... I move, then he shits a brick and runs away. its soooo funny
It is rather creepy when he dose it though lol
I think hes plotting to kill me.... maybe perhaps its because iv retired him from breeding lolz
